To everyone’s surprise, it was Kazuki Nakajima who led his Williams team two weeks ago in Spain, as the Japanese driver scored two points. On the other hand, Rosberg suffered all sorts of troubles and eventually had to retire due to engine problems.<\/p>\n
This time, both drivers are really fired up, aiming to defend their team’s fourth place. A position highly coveted by a number of other teams.<\/p>\n
Nico Rosberg – Racing Driver<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab I am delighted to be in Turkey. I had a strong race here last year in terms of pace. I think we can do something good here this weekend. The track itself is beautiful. It should suit our car. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab We spent some time analyzing our performance after the Spanish race where we made a poor setup choice for the car. We have learned from this mistake. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Kazuki Nakajima – Racing Driver<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab I don’t know the Istanbul circuit perfectly even though I have already raced on it in GP2. I hope that I can do a good job for the team for my F1 debut on this track. I will do my best to achieve a good result and score points.<\/p>\n
Sam Michael – Technical Director:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab This circuit has some overtaking opportunities with a good mix of high, medium, and low-speed corners. This Grand Prix normally takes place in August, when it’s very hot. By moving it in this way, the main difference is focused precisely on the temperatures, which will be much cooler. They will have an impact on the car and tire selection. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab Bridgestone will bring the hardest compounds, mainly due to that terrible Turn 8. The latter presents an exceptional G-force for the drivers. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab The majority of the teams will probably have a strategy of stopping twice. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
